Brigette Bard is the founder and CEO of BioSure. She worked for 20 years in fast-moving consumer goods markets and ran and exited her own successful business several years ago. She founded BioSure, which makes the first HIV self-testing kit, on the precedent that home pregnancy testing has set – people want the convenience, control and privacy that rapid diagnostic testing offers.

The longer the HIV virus goes untreated, the fewer the chances of successful care. BioSure's HIV self-testing kit yields results in 15 minutes, giving people more control of their health. It's already been introduced in Europe, and BioSure is hoping to test it soon in emerging and developing markets, where HIV transmission poses a significant health challenge.
